Admittedly, no. Obviously, with more people in the house, toilet paper would go fast.
But I should think that toilet paper would be one thing you would keep a lot of on hand. It’s not perishable like milk or eggs.
Every time I get extra and get an economy pack, the woman of the house says, “Are you afraid of running out?!” ... :-) ...
During the recession I got into couponing(before the TV shows). There was one brand of TP and paper towels called Marcal. I think they were trying to introduce themselves into various markets in the country. Therefore, about once every month they had a coupon in the Sunday paper for $1.00.
It was good for one four pack of toilet paper or one paper towel. The local grocery store Market Basket sold these for $.99.(so they were free).
There are people who sell coupons on EBAY. The coupons at first were about $.08 each for this brand(two cents per TP roll) I was buying them in blocks of 20 or more. Soon I had two other people who I was splitting them with. At one point I bought 400 coupons.
I started pre ordering them from the local grocery store by the case. I heard others were doing the same thing and selling them at the Flea Markets.
The most I ever had was 7 cases of toilet paper(96 rolls per case) and 6 cases of Paper Towels(24/case). Literally over one years worth. Eventually the price of the coupon got up to about $.35 each. Then Marcal stopped putting out the coupon.
I always wondered where the people who sold them on EBAY would come up with thousands of one coupon. They must have worked for the printing company that sent them to the newspapers. I know some people would actually go to their local paper on Monday after they collected the Sunday papers that did not get bought at the stores. They would dumpster dive for the coupons.
